This Supervision Learning Network meeting featured Dr. Jonathan Edwards, who was one of the keynote presenters at the recent Supervision Summit. Dr. Edwards led an interactive session on applying the Critical Functions of Supervision in your practice. Participants discussed what two of the functions (Evaluative and Advocative) look like in practice and learned from other supervisors what they do in their practice.

The Five Critical Functions of Supervision model can be used to organize the ways in which you supervise Peer Specialist/Advocates (PS/A) in their practice of peer support. If you are not familiar with the model, take a look at the following 10-minute video by Dr. Edwards as well as his keynote address at the PeerTAC Supervision Summit.
